I have never seen such an amazing perspective to a documentary, about the 'Greatest Story Never Told'! It included rare historical footage, which is quite stunning. The content was extremely easy to understand and very informative. The footage is presented with a background Soundtrack that is not horrific or dark like every other documentary, but very calm and suitable, so that you find yourself in the past watching the history pass in front of you. The movie was separated in several chapters, which is helpful for the viewer to understand every single detail about the content. This documentary is not manipulating me to hate someone, who I never met in my life before. This is the main reason I liked this movie. I was able to see another human being in front of me. I can only thank for the eye opening experience that completely changed my view towards history and the world
I know now, that people need to learn their history themselves, and only themselves. You are free to search, so use this opportunity. We people are scared to search,or speak out the truth. It's simply 'forbidden'. It's the same thing as someone holding his hands in front of our eyes, and we are afraid to say something. Something is supposed to change in our minds...

I have seen thousands of movies in my life, but nothing like this. This is the most impactful movie I have ever seen. At first, I started watching on the defensive (Hitler is the devil, right?), but from the first episode this documentary is so well executed and very interesting, addicting. It made me question what we are told in Hollywood and books - made me absolutely shake all my beliefs about World War 2. When I finished watching I was completely amazed and deeply moved by the spectacle - I have never been so touched before in decades and hundreds of movies. From initial hesitation to Best Movie Ever.
The content is really powerful, amazing atmosphere, absolutely brilliant soundtrack. This documentary takes you on a roller-coaster of emotions - it turns everything upside down. It is very deeply researched, and I have confirmed this doing my own research. Dennis Wise puts thousands of hours of investigation into a 6 hour documentary, so you can know everything you need to know in a few small doses of 15-min. And believe me, you don't know one tenth of it.
I am really thankful to Dennis Wise for this epic documentary so eye-opening which changes absolutely everything. Heroes an villains are not the same anymore. It will make you understand a lot better the politics and the world we live in today. Suddenly it all makes sense after and you awake to a new reality after decades of propaganda from the other side, from the people who control the world today. Adolf Hitler: the Most Lied about Man in the last century.
The power of this documentary is that it slaps in your face bigtime with the hard truth. This 6-hour documentary is the antidote to years of Propaganda.

I think this documentary is very convincing. In the past, we all thought that the goal of Germany was to dominate the whole of Europe, but it was not. The reason for the outbreak of the war came from irreconcilable conflicts. In World War II, the most ambitious was Soviet Russia, not Germany. The United Kingdom lost the British Empire after the war because of its persistence in fighting. France thought that it could win against Germany, but it was destroyed in more than a month. Every country has war crimes, the indiscriminate bombing and slaughter of the German people by the Allies was never convicted as a war crime,
but the defeated Germany is the only one to blame.
Just watched the documentation and confirm in the most points/facts with the creator. He did a good work and I am sure he invested a lot of time. The documentation and many other information is still blocked or censored by German government and German law.
If you go to school in Germany and "learn" about history the WW2 is a big part, but it is shown in another way (the bad guy theory). So if you talk about this, everyone who did not research by his own has the same knowledge. I was looking for information about the (whole) truth since 10 years and started all discussions about the 3rd Reich with: I am sorry, but to understand my point of view and talk about it you have to invest hundreds of hours in German history research." Now I can say, watch the documentation and then we can talk about WW2.
In my opinion there is also some Nazi Propaganda and I can not believe the full 100% at all. But it takes you a big step nearby the truth and show both sides of the medalian of the political Leaders in WW2. No one is innocent of them and A.H. is not the pure devil he was stigmated from the allies.
Thanks for this. Great work and many success for further projects

This documentary is all but completely taboo. This film is sure to receive angry review, and some praise. Praise will be labeled as neo nazi or racist, anti-semite, etc. However, to argue that questioning the official report, or having an opinion, or acknowledging positive aspects of a taboo subject should be condemned immediately, should be considered reactionary and emotional in response. This would be the angry review.
As someone who is personally connected to the events documented in this film, I can admit that I was moved emotionally. The music score has a great deal to do with that effect. My father was born in Germany and lived near Dresden when the controversial firebombing of the city occurred. He can describe it in great detail through a child's eyes. For this reason I am personally connected to "my people" who suffered the horrors of WW II, which was created and waged by politicians primarily.
The argument of who suffered, whether it be Jewish people, Germans, British, Russians and Soviets, Ukranian, Polish, French, Japanese or American, is not what should be considered. Accuracy and fairness. This is what true justice is based on. Weighing the facts with blindness to emotion. This needs to be considered if we want to live together as human. Otherwise the wars can continue until we are all dead.
Please look at this objectively. There is material in here that I would consider slander towards Jewish people. It is slight, but it is there. There is also brave argument about Stalin's grip on his Soviet Republic. This, like the argument about American treatment of African American, and Native American people will be and is argued as "trying to steer sight away from the true evil of Nazism". But should it be ignored? Why is Stalin's starvation of his people considered "less evil"? Please look at this objectively. It is an argument of fairness. However, there is a chapter regarding "what if?", and the "what if?" in my opinion is preposterous.
As a half German American, I will always argue that my people and their history is another page in the book of human history. Please do not slander my ancestry. Look at the facts, take the emotion out of it. There is always a moral argument against the Third Reich. It needs to be an objective argument against the Third Reich.
I recommend this film, not to change your opinion of Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party, but to lessen the hatred that you may possess in yourself. Regardless of your personal opinions, there was humanity in the German people in the 1930s and 40s. You will be much more validated in your opinions if you listen to all the arguments on the subject, from all the angles. If there was not a possibility that history could be more than we have been told, then there would not be a possibility for it to be discussed. To simply dismiss alternative facts, theories, or discussion would be ignorance.
Consider having an open mind. Closed mindedness itself can lead to atrocity. Review our history and see for yourself.
